SHE KEPT THE BOOKS.

| 10 tne Eultor or the Eagle.
An old man being called as witness il
the courts, and being questioned by an a,
torney in relation to certain transaction
replied: Il cannot tell you anythin.
about it, for, when my wife died, II los
my books"
1t was homely answer. 1t was an ode
expression, yet it wasa fitting tribute t,
the memory of wife. In it we read tn,
story of two lives.
They started out In life this man ant
wife, with little goods but with strong ant
loving hearts. Far from the highway Of
the world they builta humble home, anG
in the clearing they had made In field and
wood, they wrung from earth scanty liv
| ing. Then neighbors came and shared
with them the toll and peril of the time;
| and children came to them and filled the
cabin with their noise and prattle, and so
they lived. Each year they laid aside
some little store and, as it grew, they
added to their lands until twas said that
they were thrifty people.
When the evenings came this man would
hasten home. The wife would meet him
at the door and kindly welcome him. The
evening meal dispatched, the lamp was
lighted and they settled down to quiet rest
AS she piled the needle he would recount
the doings of the day; what he had done,
what bought, what sold, what monies
earned, what spent, what monies owed to
him and what the prospects of the coming
day. And she, while seeming busy with
her household cares, would bend and catch
the items as they fell and store them in her
mind. Thus the matter grew, until she
held within her mind the sum and total of
his every dealing. She knew what was
due to him, when due, and how secured;
she knew his debts, to whom and
when accruing; her thoughtful, active mind
became his guide, his day-book, journal,
ledger; there she had placed from day to
day the items as they came, and there they
were each in its proper place. The days
and nights went by and melted into years.
In time the cabin they had built gave place
to better and statelier building; the chill
dren they had reared went out from them
to battle with the world; time wrote his
changes on the fields and woods, yet they
lived on their quiet, humble life.
At last there came day when, bent with
years, and worn with toll and care, the
wife laid down the burden of this life.
With gentle loving hands the husband
closed her eyes. The neighbors came and,
when the words were said that told of life
to come, so full of joy and peace, they
bore her to rest Back to the home the
husband bent his way, but it had lost to
him its light and charm. Out in the world
ne went. and strove in many ways to fix in
mind the matter kept for him these many
years with weary, listless step he wandered
here and there; and when they asked him |
If his dues or debts, his business or his |
'lans, he said to all; Il can't tell you for
we lost my books OH simple story of
! useful life There may be carved on
many marble shaft high sounding words
md touching epitaphs, but what can tell
more of thoughtful, loving, busy, sincere
life, than just these words: "She kept the

HAVE THE TIME.

Wichita is making great effort to secure
the Burton works, which furnish employ
ment to a thousand mechanics. Why is moi
Topeka also making some effort to secure
this rich prise2
o, why? Topeka has not got the time
to attend TO such small matters. Topeka
has an awful load on her shoulders attend
ing to the municipal affairs Of the state.
70 see Wichita has nothing to do now only
to gobble up an ordinary sized iron foundry
or car works. 1t is people of leisure who
can attend to these little matters.
Wichita eagle., 1887-07-28
SOUR GRAPES.

Wichita claims to have the Burton cal
works employing 1000 men as "a settled
fact" but it is questionable what the Bur
ton car works are worth. When the rail
roads get ready to use such a patent it is
likely they will pay a royalty and build
the Burton car for themselves:-FortS Scott
Monitor
1t is likely the roads will do that very
thing and erect all their shops over at Fort
Scott And when the roads all get fairly
to work over at Fort Scott they may also
pay royalty and manufacture the Pull
man cars also. Who can tell?

line Complete Which Will Sc
cure Yet Greater
Achievements.

The location Of the car works in Wichits
will undoubtedly be referred to in aftel
years as one of the movements that went &
long way toward securing this city solid
| footing. It is such movements as this that
secures to us the victories already won.
1t is fortifcation constructed On the field
captured by series of gallant charges,
that will not only enable us to hold the
ground already taken, but will serve as a
base from which other assaults can be made
and other victories won. The loyal
sons of Wichita whose names
are enrolled in this enterprise will be looked
upon in the future as the heroes who
founded great city. 1t will constitute a
roll of honor, that will endear the name of
each one now bearing a conspicuous part,
to a brave people. The greater the city
becomes the greater will be the honor of
those who gained the victories in these early
contests. Glorious Wichital and all honor
to the men who hold her destinies in their
grasp today, In every part of the city
each division goes on building for the
glory of all, but one blast from the bugle
of trusted leader will concentrate the
energy of the whole like an avalanch upon
a given point And thus are victories
achieved, and the fame of The Peerless
Princess will be sung throughout the
land.

THE PROPOSED NEGRO LEAGUE

Globe Democrat.
The proposed negro league, if 1t should
actually become fact, would perhaps In.
troduce an element of uncer tainty into the
coming presidential canvass The project
was first suggested about q year ago, il we
remember rightly, by an editor of q negro
journal in New York City, and that In
dividual Is at the head of the scheme TODAY.
So far as we are able to learn, it has not
yet advanced beyond the talking stage. al.
| though some southern journals are digni-
flying it by the name of "a movement -
The intention is to unite the colored men
of the country iE sort of independeut
organization, which would have no CON
nection whatever with any of the present
political parties, its meetings to be secret.
II is natural of course, that Democrats
should welcome the formation of an indie
pendent negro party. They assume that it
would injure the Republicans more than II
would the Democracy. But In this as
sumption they appear 10 be more sanguine
than the facts warrant when they anticipate
an easy victory If the proposed Organization
should be formed Providing that other
party divisions should remain the same as
in 1884. the transfer of the entire negro vote
to the Democracy In 1888 would not give to
that party In that year a single northern
state carried by the Republicans three
years ago except Michigan The Republi-
can plurality Ia that state in 1884
was only 3,30s. while the number
of negro voters in ii In 1880 was
6,130. The Republican plurality In every
other state carried by thai party was larger
than It's colored voting population
There are at least two reasons for assum-
ing, however, that the Democrats will be
in any expectations which
they they NAV have formed of help from
the negroes in 1883 There is no good rea- |
son why the colored men should withdraw |
from the Republican party. Ii Is to that |
party TO which they owe their present |
status In the community. Without the aid |
which the party extended to than, they |
would still be 10 slavery, and would MOI |
enjoy q single political privilege now &C |
